The Public Relations and Publicity Department of Giresun University was established within the Tirebolu Faculty of Communication with the approval of the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) and started undergraduate education in the 2012–2013 academic year. Shortly after its establishment, the department graduated its first students and, by continuing its academic development, began to offer graduate-level education as well. Since the day it was founded, the Department of Public Relations and Publicity has aimed to train communication professionals who combine theoretical knowledge with practical application, possess research-oriented and critical thinking skills, and have a strong awareness of professional ethics. The educational program not only provides students with a strong social sciences foundation but also equips them with comprehensive knowledge in the fields of public relations, advertising, media, campaign management, public opinion research, digital communication, visual communication, and design. The Department of Public Relations and Publicity closely follows current developments in the field of communication, continuously updates its educational content, and continues to educate qualified graduates who can adapt to the changing dynamics of the sector.
